(US5104805-A)      Storage location for rotting refuse, has a vertically adjustable cover around which is a wall depending like an apron. Appts. inside the storage location slings radially outwardly from the centre ingoing to refuse delivered through the roof by a feed shaft receiving refuse from a conveyor.    Specifically the cover carries appts. for delivering fluid or fertilising agent onto the layered refuse, which rests upon a floor plate with air passages.    USE -   Composting pre-crushed garbage or refuse and esp. coarse shrubs or bushes.    (US5356258-A)      Vehicle for transporting garbage or refuse, partic. coarse refuse such as shrubs or bushes, comprises a container to hold the material, and a tail structure with an intake hopper and a slow-speed cutting mill above a container feed conveyor and below an impact space which receives hard items. The conveyor is parallel to the mill and ends at an opening through the container rear wall.    The hopper pref. extends above a bed of the vehicle and there is at least one pivotable draw-in roller upstream of the mill. The conveyor may have a thrust plate or a screw as the conveying element.    ADVANTAGE -   Provides simplified processing and treatment.    (DE3735362-C2)      Plant material, esp. large bushes etc. is picked up by a grab on a jib pivotally mounted on the roof of a transporter vehicle, and dropped into a chute at the rear of the vehicle. During loading the material is engaged by rotary choppers and reduced to small pieces, which at a tipping site are laterally ejectable by a worm feeder.    At the site, the discharged material is fed through a pipe to a distributor at the centre of a deposit area bounded by uprights supporting a raisable roof. The distributor rotates to scatter the pieces centrifugally over the area, to form a layer whose subsequent composting can be aided by air delivered from underground pipes. The roof is then raised to provide space for a further layer.    ADVANTAGE -   Relatively small amts. of waste material are conveniently handled.
